Tuberous sclerosis presenting as an intraventricular tumour.
We report a case of tuberous sclerosis in an 8 year old girl presenting for the first time with features of raised intracranial pressure due to a large intraventricular tumour. Occurrence of these tumours in children with tuberous sclerosis justifies cranial computerised tomography as a screening procedure to detect these tumours early.
